Hi pacrook,

As I've been experimenting with KMS and failsafe mode lately for Lucid,
we've found that issues like this one crop up.  It seems that the -vesa
video driver (which failsafeX mode uses) doesn't work well with KMS.
We've converted it to use fbdev instead.  I'm >pretty< sure that'll
solve this issue.  Basically, you can test it by substituting "fbdev"
instead of "vesa" in the xorg.conf.failsafe (or your xorg.conf).

Alternatively, just boot the Ubuntu Lucid livecd, edit the xorg.conf to
make it invalid (append 'foobar' or whatever), and then log out and back
in (or do 'sudo service gdm restart' from the command line).  Hopefully
it should pop you into the failsafeX session properly.

If you get a chance, please give it a try and let us know.  If we don't
hear back from you in a few weeks we'll assume it's no longer an issue.
